Ten Injured at the weekly Bil'in Protest

Ten non-violent protestors were reported injured during the weekly Anti-Wall protest at the village of Bil'in located near the West Bank city of Ramallah on midday Friday.

As the case each week, villagers from Bil'in along with Israeli and international peace activists marched towards the location of the Wall which is separating the village from its land. As soon as the protest reached the gate of the Wall soldiers showered the protestors with tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets. Medical sources reported that ten protestors suffered gas inhalation.

The village of Bil'in has been protesting the construction of the wall on the village's land since around three years.

Few months ago the Israeli court has ruled to shift the wall away from the village which saved half of the confiscated land.
